New widow

There is also the granddaughter, this poor child. Every time Old Mrs. Wan thinks about how Suqiao grew up in the Kuang family, she feels filled with panic. But these sorrows cannot be told to others. I can only wait slowly and slowly in my heart, waiting for these sorrows not to disappear, but for the wounds to become thick scars. The thicker the scars, the less pain it seems.

But only he knows that such a scar will fall off when he dies, revealing the wound that has never healed.

"Mother." Wan Dequan stepped forward to support Mrs. Wan. Mrs. Wan's eyes were full of tears, but she still managed to calm down: "Go to sleep. If the sky falls, it can still be used as a quilt. You are hers. Uncle, after being a public servant for so many years, he will always find a way."

"Yes!" Wan Dequan replied softly. Wan'er did not go out of the house, but just sat on her bed and listened to these words. It turns out that it is so difficult to be a human being, and in this world, there is a father who does not cherish his daughter. This is really , Wan'er didn't know what to say or what to ask, but she could only let out a long sigh.

Su Du took Brother Zhou and others, escorted the man, and entered the city along the original route. Seeing them returning with individual prisoners, the soldiers guarding the gate naturally started talking, but Su Du seemed not to have heard these comments.

Soon we arrived at the magistrate's office. There were people waiting in front of the gate. When he saw everyone walking in, the man hurriedly approached and said, "Your Excellency, you know that Su Tongpan is capable of doing things."

"Don't dare!" Su Du was not in the mood to socialize at the moment, but he still wanted to say a few words.

"My lord has ordered that this person be sent to prison and under strict supervision. Tomorrow, your lord will personally interrogate him." This man said to Brother Zhou. Brother Zhou felt strange all the way. This matter seemed strange no matter how you looked at it. However, at this moment, Brother Zhou did not dare to ask. After hearing the order, Brother Zhou could only respond and lead this person back. In prison.

"Your Excellency, Su Tongpan doesn't need to see him again. Please go back and rest." When Su Du heard this, he returned to Tongpan Yamen himself.

Zhang Qing was still waiting at the Tongpan Yamen. When he saw Su Du coming in, Zhang Qing stood up and said, "How?"

"The man is still here. He was very proud to see us." Su Du only replied, and sat down tiredly: "I don't know that it is so difficult to live a stable life."

"You were still a child, so naturally many things were blocked by your family." Zhang Qing also sat next to him. Su Du said to himself: "I don't know, once she is real, what will those people do?"

There were not only Song Zhen in the yard, but also Zhou Le and Wan Dequan's family. Without the protection of Suqiao, the British princess, they would become a piece of fat meat, ready to be slaughtered.

"Don't think so much. You go to sleep first. Maybe there will be a solution when you wake up." Zhang Qing pushed Su Du into the room. Su Du stood up and said, "Yeah, maybe when you wake up, There is a way."

Seeing Su Du about to enter the room, Zhang Qing said softly: "You just said that there is Miss Zhou. Did you treat her..."

"Most of what happened to her was because she was engaged to me. It's normal for me to help her more, but I just feel like a brother and sister to her." After saying this, Su Du paused: "Maybe, it's not as good as a brother and sister. important."

"I know, I just teased you on purpose." Seeing that Su Du was very nervous, Zhang Qing hurriedly smiled and comforted him. After saying that, Zhang Qing said again: "Do you feel more comfortable now?"

"It seems like I feel more comfortable." Su Du knew what Zhang Qing meant, so he replied with a smile. This matter seemed to be a puzzle. How to untie this net was so difficult.

There were many people who had trouble sleeping that night. Chu Zhixian got up early and learned the news that someone had been arrested. A stone fell in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be sad: "I should go and pray." Magistrate, ask him to look into the case properly."

"This is my wife's grievance. The magistrate will definitely examine it carefully." As the housekeeper said this, he helped Magistrate Chu change his clothes. While he was still changing his clothes, someone came in to report that the matchmaker had arrived.

Chu Zhixian hurriedly changed his clothes and invited the matchmaker in. The matchmaker came in, saw Chu Zhixian's well-dressed appearance, and smiled and said: "I didn't realize it before, but Chu Zhixian is really well-born."

"You mother-in-law, don't say such things." Chu Zhixian motioned to the matchmaker to sit down. How could the matchmaker dare to sit down? She just stood there and replied: "Qian'er, you said that you want a wife and a concubine. Where is this wife?" , but as long as the family is good and the character is good, it is easy to find. But this concubine has a very beautiful appearance, which is a bit difficult to find. "

"Why, there is no beautiful woman in such a big city?" Chu Zhixian took the tea and asked lightly. The matchmaker already smiled and said: "It's not that there are no beautiful women in our city. Some time ago, Something happened, you must have heard of it, that is Aunt Du in Wang Shangshu's house." When mentioning Aunt Du, Chu Zhixian was not happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it, he just said calmly: "This has nothing to do with me taking concubines. , what does it matter."

"To be honest, this is a very good concubine for an official. Besides, you are so young and promising. But for a family with a beautiful daughter, the bride price will inevitably be higher." The matchmaker made a few turns. , finally telling the truth, Chu Zhixian put down the tea bowl: "You old man, this is what you want to say."

"I don't dare to deceive you. It is true that this bride price is twenty taels more than the original." After saying this, the matchmaker said softly: "That woman is three points more beautiful than the famously beautiful Liulanhua."

"Who is Liu Lanhua?" Chu Zhixian frowned, and the matchmaker smiled: "This Liu Lanhua made the young master of the Shangshu Mansion jealous and killed her mother, but fortunately her husband didn't mind being green. Married too."

This incident was aroused in the public, and of course Chu Zhixian also heard about it. At that time, Chu Zhixian also said that such a woman must be famous for her beauty. Mrs. Chu was not happy at the time. After all, Liu Lanhua was Mrs. Chu's cousin.

When he heard the matchmaker say again, Chu Zhixian couldn't help but smile: "So it's her, is she really so beautiful?"

"That's right, if she's not so beautiful, how dare her parents ask for so much money." The matchmaker's words made Chu Zhixian laugh again: "Okay, okay!"

"Sir," the matchmaker waited cautiously, and Chu Zhixian stood up: "I want to go to the magistrate's office. When I come back, I will go see the woman."

"The young one is waiting here." The matchmaker felt relieved now, and Chu Zhixian nodded to the housekeeper: "It's a good treat." After saying that, Chu Zhixian left in a hurry, and the matchmaker also smiled at the housekeeper and said: "You adults, this is really..."
